Hey! I am so glad you’re here!

I love writing, and I really love it when what I write is read by people who love interacting with me! Below you’ll find a handful of my most popular posts (well, if you’ve got a seven-fingered hand!). So, go grab your favorite beverage and spend some time with me. We’ll both be better for it!

There are moments when things can get so heated, so polarized and so political that no matter what anyone says, things seem to get worse. This is one of those moments. Millionaires athletes are fighting with a billionaire president and most people who are neither of those would be hard-pressed to explain why.
